The host Rockettes started and finished the 15th running of the annual tournament on a winning note. By beating Carson Graham 48-37, the Rockettes clinched third place overall. The Rocket- tes’ other win came at the expen- se of Spring Valley in the opening round, 80-35. It was in the second round of the cight-team tourney that the Rockettes lost 65-55 to Clarence Fulton. The loss ended any hopes the local girls might have had of making it to the finals. “The worst aspect of our game was the intensity,” said Jack Closkey, coach of the SHSS senior girls. ‘‘And, the best aspect of the tournament was the play of the Grade I1s.”’ Despite the loss, Closkey poin- ted to the second game as a character builder and hopes that the sour taste of losing will keep his club from becoming repeat offenders. The taste of losing must have been strong going into the third game because the intensity and the drive to win were both ap- Parent on the court, as the Rockettes proved they are still contenders on the provincial scene Most of the third game was a nip-and-tuck affair until midway during the second half, when the Rockettes forwards proved too much for Carson, resulting in foul trouble for the Eagles. At one point in the, second half, the Eagles pulled within four points of Stanley Humphries but the inexperience of the Car- son players showed and they were unable to capitalize on their op- portunities. “When it really counted, we just couldn’t put-the brown thing (basketball) in the round thing (hoop),”” said Eagles coach Ray Marshall. Proving more of a force as the tournament went on was Carolyn Briscoe. Briscoe, one of the Rockettes’. offensive stars, said the loss to Fulton was an expen- sive lesson to learn. “The intensity he (Closkey) wanted wasn’t there,’’ said Briscoe, one of the team’s Grade 12 stalewarts. ‘*We really didn’t have it in the second game, but it came around in the last game."’ Briscoe led the club offensively with 34 points in the touranment, followed by teammate Kristy Lees with 32 points. Though these two gathered the most poin- ts, it was teammate Laurel Closkey who was nominated to the tournament all-star list. Closkey netted 30 points in the tourney, but it was her defensive prowess that earned the five-foot, two-inch Grade 11 guard a spot on the all-star list SHSS claims third With the Blue and Gold tour- nament over, the senior girls now turn their attention to Calgary and the Southern Alberta In stitute of Technology Silver Bell tournament, which gets underway this Friday. The eventual winners of the Blue and Gold tournament were the Pleasant Valley Sinners of Armstrong. The Sinners squared off against Fulton and came away with a 70-51 win. Last year’s defending champs, the Summerland Rockets, came away with a sixth-place finish and neighboring Grand Forks managed to get one win to finish seventh in the standings. In other basketball news, the junior boys team travelled to Nelson last Friday winning 49-43. Captain Ed Furlan led the team to ictory with a 15-point evening. However, things did not go as well for the senior boys team, which lost to L.V. Rogers 86-61. The seniors were led of- fensively by Clint Dolgopol with 17 points, but it was the play of Nelson's Greg Devries and his 33- point evening, which did in the visiting Castlegar contingent. The senior boys will be off to Oliver for an invitational tour- nament this weekend which should give the club a good feel for the game and themselves as the new season gets underway. Tonight, the junior girls travel to Trail to start their 1990-91 season. The junior Rockettes will take on J.L. Crowe.

Saturday’s game at the Com- munity Complex was high spirited, featuring several fights and close to 100 combined penalty minutes. The Rebels lost 5-3 Saturday to division rival Beaver Valley Nite Hawks at the Community Complex. Twenty-four hours earlier, the Rebels were embarrassed at the Complex 11-1, by the Columbia Valley Rockies, who currently hold spot in the KIJHL’s East with 40 poin Castlegar quickly established a two-goal lead Saturday midway during the first period over the West's second-place Nite Hawks. But just as quickly, the Nite Hawks or not enough age or ex- perience with the puck. We've got a lot of younger players and they don’t know how to hold on for 60 minutes.’" Both first-period goals for the Rebels came on the power play. Rick Crowe gave Castlegar the lead with his first of two points on the night, at the 6:07 mark of the first. Crowe walked in from the blue line and wristed the puck past Blair Allison, the league’s top-ranked goaltender with @ a a goals against area of 2.20. Dwayne Dergousoff made ti it a two- goal difference when he capitalized with the man advantage, beating Allilson. But it took the Nite Hawks less than two minutes before Dwayne Bouliane intercepted Dergousoff’s clearing pass to draw within one. Twelve seconds later, Adam Dead marsh evened the score at two. The only goal scored in the second belonged to Darrell Sandback of the Hawks, as he put his team up 3-2 and in the lead for good. The Hawks outscored the Rebels _ 2-1 in the third Derick Piche got the winning goal for the Hawks with teammate Wayne Titus adding insurance, while Dale Bonderud got one back for the Rebels. Though he didn’t score, David Green was instrumental in the game with three assists to raise his total points to 48, good enough for second place in league scoring. As for Friday’s game, not much can be said, other than the Columbia Valley Roc! w al and the Rebels played mediocre at best. It took the Rebels until the 7:10 mark of the third before they could break David Kilduff’s shutout. Jeremy Thompson scored for the Rebels to save face for the club. Chuck Steele and Olhf Kjenstad both scored hat tricks for the Rockies and each added an assist, for four points on the evening. On Friday the Rebels travel to Trail to take on the Junior Smoke Eaters who are currently sitting atop the West Division with 36 points. Trail of late has been on a roll and the club has managed to take first spot in the West away from Beaver Valley, which sits with 32 points. Cooper said no major changes would be made going into this weekend’s game. The Rebels just have to continue to work hard and piay a full 60 minutes of hockey, he added NOTES: Rebel goalie Lorin Healy may not find himself suited up Friday after getting two game misconducts for illegal use of his stick Cooper said the reason for Healy's behavior is simple frustration, in which Healy is not en- tirely to blame. “The defence is not doing its jobs. They should be clearing people out of the way,"’ Cooper said. looks over to watch the puck go in the net, while teammate Rick Crowe tries to tie up Beaver Valley's Lorin Healy Dwayne Boulione in front of the net.

Calgary, which has outshot opponents 23 times in 32 games, was outshot 37-22 “For a change it went the other way,’’ Vernon said. ‘‘It’s frustrating when you think you're playing well but they've got four by you.” Robert Reichel scored twice for the Flames, who are unbeaten (4- 0-3) in their last seven road games and remain in first place in the Smythe Division, three points ahead of Los Angeles Al Macinnis, the NHL's top- scoring defenceman, extended his scoring streak to seven games with a goal for Calgary Reichel’s. second goal, $7 seconds into the third period, gave the Flames a 5-1 lead.
